Shepherds Rest Mürekkep "Kepi"

in pictures

Mürekkep is Turkish for Ink, since she has a dark face. Her father is Ormanüstü Duman, a rare dark rough-coat - a Shepherds Rest import, who came as a working dog from the mountains near the Black Sea in Turkey! Click here to see sire. "Kepi" is very laid back and sweet. She gets along well with other dogs ... more of a peacemaker. But she does get cooked up quickly when the coyotes appear. She is expecting her first litter in October!

Photos taken during Kepi's turn on the cable in the pasture with young goats. She and the other adolescents-in-training take turns alternating between being free with the bucks or larger does in other pastures, and doing some supervised time on the cable in with the young unweaned livestock.
